Mr. Martin Nolan:

The legislation was set up in 2009 to allow Bus Éireann to compete. We have competed in a very responsible manner. Ours is the last company to leave these towns and villages. We are very aware of our heritage, but we have to be able to compete with JJ Kavanagh, etc. If we were to give our competitors details of our cost base, we might as well shut the door at that stage.
